From CNN.com (the lead story):

Crowds gather to denounce, support war

Hundreds of anti-war protesters and supporters of the U.S. policy in Iraq are in Washington for rallies, days before the war enters its fifth year. Those on one side armed themselves with signs saying "U.S. Out of Iraq Now" and "Illegal Combat" while those on the other bore banners with "Peace Through Strength" and "al Qaeda Appeasers On Parade."

Please post a response to this, telling me HOW IT IS BIASED.

It's a good exercise (good practice) -- and it's something you want to be able to do.

So the people against the war are "ANTI-war" PROTESTORS while the brainless supporters of the war are "supporting the US Policy".

So the pro-peace (and sanity) faction is painted like a violent mob that is just waiting to get beat down by the lawful authorities. They "Armed themselves"...with signs, while the other side peacefully "bore banners" whose first word was "peace".

Orwellian propaganda at its finest.

Do you think if the USA and Britain pulled out of Iraq now that there would be peace in that country?

Everything I've read says that there will not be peace until the US and its allies leave Iraq.

That said, it's possible that the damage has already been done, and there won't be peace either way now.

But this is Vietnam and Afghanistan (the first one -- with the Soviets) revisited.

In all 3 cases, big, hi-tech armies met their match -- determined guerrillas with asymmetric warfare.

The U.S. government didn't really want to win in Vietnam, just like the Korean War; too bad, there wasn't a commander in Vietnam like General MacArthur, to oppose the politicians, who were (and are) controlled by the Fed, notwithstanding a few exceptions.

Constant fighting, with no one group getting stronger than the other.

Thats one of the NWO's strategies, endless wars.
